For me, since the PS1 days, the series has literally been good every other game, and bad in the games between.
FF7 - Great
FF8 - Disappointing
FF9 - Great
FF10 - Disappointing
FF12 - Great
FF13 - Garbage
FF15 - Great (so far)

I'm hoping they change the trend with FF16.

Kinda the same, but not near much as harsh with the "not the best ones"

7 - Great
8 - Good but flawed
9 - Masterpiece
10 - Good but flawed
12 - Masterpiece
13 - Good but flawed
15 - Still to play, but looks great.

Yeah, the only harsh one is 13, I think.  I really didn't like that game, and I feel about it the same way GribbleGrunger feels about 15. It sucked the soul out of a series, trimming it down to some of the most boring sequences, a disjointed story, and some awful anime cliche characters. The only likeable character for me was one with an afro with a baby chocobo nested in it.  I'll let that sink in for a second.

Getting to Gran Pulse was a shining aspect of an otherwise shitty game, but it came too little too late. FF15 feels like a masterpiece in comparison, even if it doesn't feel like a Final Fantasy at its core.  But neither did FF12, and that game ranks among the best of the series, in my opinion.
